position either at the start or finish.
Jacob Stumpf, of st. Louis, and James
Rogers, OF Toronto, were on the ref
eree'S boat close together throughout
the race. Both Mr.. Stumpf and Mr..
rogers carefully timed the contest and
both agree that the three miles was
made i'll 1880. Their time was this
evening declared official. Gaudaur,
therefore, broke the record, the best
previous time being his own against
Ieemer over the same course, 1854. On
every side tonight expressions of ad-
mlration for the feat are heard. coupled
with conjectureS as to what might have
been done had the conditions been at
all favorable. Undoubtedly if the day
had not been rainy from early morning
the record smashing would have been
witnessed by crowd numbering 10000
people.
Hanlan, though defeated, not only forced
Gaudaur to break all records, but broke
them himself. Hanlan's time. according
to the official record, is 1924. His hacker,
Peter Duryea, taking courage from this
TACT, stated tonight that he would send
Hanlan to Australia to beat Beach, and
then return again to attempt the defeat
of Gaudaur. Mr.. Duryea attributed
Hanlan's defeat mainly to the fact that
his boat was untitled for rough water,
while Gaudaur's was peculiarly adapted.
Hanlan also inclined to this view of the
matter later in the evening, and bright
ened up noticeably when it was an
nounced as certain that he had sur
passed the worlds best previous record.
